 How this could be done for nostr clients: imagine your user profile glowing in a purple color, flames around your pfp. Why? Because you're a super-supporter of this client, so that client will show your profile in a different way.  
 Certainly would not hurt to at least try this approach! Apparently the gaming industry is bigger than like all sports combined, so i think you’re onto something here by taking some notes from them 
 There's people literally donating and getting nothing in return because this is currently top of mind. Having anything for sale is better than donations only 
 If it helped fund ACTUAL development , I'd prob buy something like that. 
Nostr needs a game maybe ? Like , the way Facebook had Candy Crush and Farmville. Then use the proceeds to fund Nostr development? 
 I am working on my very first game my idea is to make a nostr arcade in the future… at the moment I can only envision a site where you auth with nostr and pay with lightning… but that may change as I’ll be studying nostr seriously on Q1 of next year 
 Sounds awesome. Keep building!! Also check out https://crashglow.com/ 
 Will do, I have my little plan of going to itch.io first since I’m not sure my game is any good… also is a “simple“ 8 ball pool game… 
 🤔Is CrashGlow.com the itch .io of nostr? 👀

 Sir, what is this sorcery

 I joined the group :) 
 How people in Free software are paid ? 

 
 Being able to have a song start playing when people go to your profile old school MySpace style would be cool too! I’m hesitant to suggest this, but clients could offer an explore-like page where paying subscribers get featured, or where you can feature a post per month or something. Also some sort of shop page in client would be rad. I would pay for a spot on a shop page for my art. Maybe people still have to leave the client to actually purchase, but a featured product page of some kind possibly? 
 Skin of the month 😆 
 Purchasing visibility… that’s advertisement.  This form of advertisement would appeal to value signaling crowds. 
 Bingo! 💯

 That sounds amazing to me if that could happen.

 I've spent so much money on skins for my kids it's insane. 
 @jb55 / Damus did this with zap match with a star. Depending upon the color of your star by your name was decided on what % you were matching every zap to donate.

Apple hoodwinked that feature like the “think different” 🤡 they have shown to be. 
 This is a significant part of Discord's business model, as far as I can tell. 
 And Discord business model work  like a charm ?


What do you think about ordinals

 that's why they call their value add on the freemium base "nitro" like nitromethane mixed with methanol as used in RC engines and in Mad Max movie scripts 
 wen opensats badges?  
 Seems like a good spam prevetion/verification method as well 
 That sounds like a good idea. 
 Sort of like the blue check, but actually earned
